When I Was Young

Tell me a story Do you remember the one From my childhood Do you remember How the story went back then I can remind you It felt like a dream Whenever you would tell me Of when I was young How, always, I played I was such a happy child Always full of joy How you loved the times When we would chase each other When I was a child Every now and then I would fall and hurt myself You were always there You comforted me And you always held me close It was wonderful How I miss those days When I could be in the sun And see your face shine But now I am old Bed-ridden and so frail I can't go outside I am not a child But I can still remember The stories you tell Of the times of yore Of the happiest child Back when I was young
